Extradition – Extradition order. The appellant appealed against orders for his extradition to Poland to serve sentences for driving while disqualified. The Administrative Court, in allowing the appeal, held that insufficient particulars had been given in the first European arrest warrant (EAW) to meet the relevant statutory requirements and, consequently, the appellant fell to be discharged in relation to that warrant. With respect to the second EAW, it was impossible to say that the appellant had left Poland deliberately to avoid the consequences of that sentence and it seemed disproportionate to require him to be extradited to face the consequences of the particular sentence in question.
